An app for smartwatches that expect Android?

@jiho Wow, that is very cool! I'm sure many people will find that useful!

You can find the soc used in the Pinetime between 3 to 15 USD.
Then you have the mold for the watch case, add the screen and the screen controller and a strap.
The PineTime has 64K of RAM, 512 K of flash memory and additional 4MBTo run UT you need a much stronger hardware.
To run AndroidWear you need at least 1,000 times the power of the Pinetime (512MB of RAM and 4GB or eMMC) almost comparable to UT's requirements.
And to run Asteroid you also need a stronger SOC, additional RAM and ROM this is not free and to integrate in a smal factor it will cost even more.
For a company like Pine64 it should be around 150 to 200 USD for a product less powerful than the Pinephone...Yes cost is important, technology is cheaper and cheaper but not cheap.

This thread inspired me to purchase a new old stock in open box LG G Watch R to put Asteroid OS on. Looking forward to seeing how the Telescope app integrates it with my Volla phone running UT, and will report back after some time to review it.

@jiho Hi, yes I would find that very useful and I would like to test if possible.

Rockwork is the reason why i have 3 Pebbles (2 PT, 1 HR) and they work fantastic on UT with exactly "all" of the configs you can get in the android ecosystem. Love those watches, I may buy some more of them just for the future. You never know!
I have 1 AsteroidOS watch as well but the development is sadly too slow and the battery of the watch barely makes half a day in the meantime with the Pebble's I can get an average of 8-9 days of use

How do you deal with having more than one Pebble? As far as I know (but maybe you know something I don't) Rockwork can only connect to one Pebble. If there is a way to make several profiles, and switch between them, I haven't found it.

@moem Hello, yes that's the issue. I have the other watches paired with my other phones, they are not attached to the same phone, in fact, I've never tried doing it. Maybe Brian Douglass can give us more insight about this.

I've asked him, and he said he was hardly involved, the app was mostly made by Michael Zanetti. So I asked him, and he did not reply.
So I decided to ask the community for help.
